As California continues to lead the nation in combatting climate
change, an expected 450 local business, government and non-profit
leaders will gather at the 11th Annual Sustainability Summit to
explore how investment in sustainability generates new jobs, spurs
innovation, and boosts the economy.

A letter from LABC members to Environmental Protection Agency
Administrator Scott Pruitt will be made public with an urgent plea to
stop the rollback of environmental regulations, specifically the
Energy Star Program, a $60 million program which accounts for $30
billion in energy savings.

Plans will also be shared for the first net-zero greenhouse gas
master-planned community in the U.S. developed by FivePoint.

A new Utility Sector Workforce Development Report will be released
that examines looming instability in the utility sector’s employment
model caused by the rising share of workers who are retirement
eligible along with the increasing deployment of smart technology that
will change, if not eliminate, traditional entry level jobs.

WHO:

The Honorable Xavier Becerra, California Attorney General

The Honorable Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles

The Honorable Kevin de León, Senate President pro Tempore,
California State Senate
